Men's Insulated Neoteric Jacket

Insulated cousin to our super-breathable ski shell, our jacket is the next evolution in maintaining total microclimate comfort when burning vertical. Built with cutting edge, three-layer Polartec® NeoShell® fabric for waterproof, windproof protection and unprecedented breathability. The guide's choice for cold smoke, hot-lap powder days in zones from Jackson and Silverton to the northern Selkirk reaches of Revelstoke, BC.

I bought this jacket for my husband. He is 5'11", 190 lbs. I ordered him a size L. The XL would have been way too big, especially in the sleeves. Although the jacket looked really nice and was well made, the armholes were quite a bit too tight and the jacket was uncomfortable when he tried to lift his arms. It has gone back. If you are on the thinner side with a fairly small build, this may still work.

These are "Awesome" jackets per my son. I purchased 3 of these for the two college age sons and myself for skiing. We found that it just takes a long sleeved t-shirt as the base layer to be comfortable ad 25 degrees. Positives: wind protection, parka length, quiet soft fabric, no humidity buildup, great looking. No negatives that I can think of. My 5 star rating for value is based on purchasing these at 40% off. Also Eddie Bauer has spectacular customer service as it took several orders and returns to get the perfect fit for my growing sons. I am confident that this is the best jacket on the market available in extended sizes.

This is a great looking jacket that is definitely waterproof and breathable. I have walked my dog in a downpour in 50 degree weather with the pit zips all the way open. I didn't get too hot and when I got home I just shook the water off the jacket and it was perfectly dry. It looks great. The length (mid thigh) is perfect for snowboarding since you spend a lot of time bent over strapping in your boots or sitting on the ground waiting to do a run. I haven't tested this jacket out in extremely cold temps but I do know that at 30 degrees all I needed on underneath was a t shirt. The pockets are very functional and well placed. All in all a very functional jacket that is nice enough to wear around town. I'm 5'11" 195 lbs and moderately fit and I ended up buying a medium tall.
